Globus for System Administrators (CHPC 2019 - South Africa)
- 1. Globus for System Administrators Vas Vasiliadis vas@uchicago.edu CHPC National Conference December 5, 2019
- 2. Globus Connect Server 3 • Makes your storage accessible via Globus • Multi-user server, installed and managed by sysadmin docs.globus.org/globus-connect-server-installation-guide/ Local system users Local Storage System (HPC cluster, NAS, …) Globus Connect Server MyProxy CA GridFTP Server OAuth Server DTN • Default access for all local accounts • Native packaging Linux: DEB, RPM
- 3. Globus Connect Server v4 4 Local system users Local Storage System (HPC cluster, NAS, …) Globus Connect Server MyProxy CA GridFTP Server OAuth Server DTN Non-POSIX Connectors POSIX-compliant Connector server
- 4. For now, assume you should use GCS v4, except for very specific needs Which version of Globus Connect Server do I use?
- 5. Which version of Globus Connect Server do I use? Are you a Globus subscriber? Do you have a High Assurance or BAA subscription (and plan to set up a high assurance endpoint)? Use GCS v4 Use GCS v5.3 No Yes No Yes Would you like to support multiple storage system types on one endpoint? Do you want to enable HTTPS access to your storage? Do you plan to use the S3, Box, Google Drive or Ceph connectors? No No No Yes Yes Yes
- 6. Creating a Globus endpoint on your server • In this example, Server = Amazon EC2 instance • Installation and configuration of Globus Connect Server requires a Globus ID • Go to globusid.org • Click “create a Globus ID” – Optional: associate it with your Globus account 7
- 7. What we are going to do: Install Globus Connect Server • Access server as user “campusadmin” • Update repo • Install package • Setup Globus Connect Server Server (AWS EC2) ssh ec2-22-23-24-25 Log into Globus Transfer a file 1 2 3 Access the newly created endpoint (as user ‘researcher’) 4 8
- 8. Access your server • Get the IP address for your EC2 server (bit.ly/ec2ip) • Log in as user ‘campusadmin’ ssh campusadmin@<EC2_instance_IP_address> • Please sudo su before continuing – User ‘campusadmin’ has passwordless sudo privileges 9
- 9. Install Globus Connect Server $ sudo su $ curl –LOs http://downloads.globus.org/toolkit/globus-connect- server/globus-connect-server-repo_latest_all.deb $ dpkg –i globus-connect-server-repo_latest_all.deb $ apt-get update $ apt-get -y install globus-connect-server $ globus-connect-server-setup You have a working Globus endpoint! Use your Globus ID username and password when prompted
- 10. Access the Globus endpoint • Go to Manage Data à Transfer Files • Access the endpoint you just created – Search for your EC2 host name in the Endpoint field – Log in as “researcher”; you will see the user’s home directory • Transfer files between a test endpoint (e.g. ESnet read-only) and your EC2 endpoint 11
- 11. Globus accounts and endpoint access • Globus account: Primary identity (+ Linked Identities) • Endpoint initially accessible by creator • Endpoint not visible? – Primary identity is your institutional ID? – Link your Globus ID!
- 13. Endpoint configuration • On the Globus service: app.globus.org/endpoints • On your DTN: /etc/globus-connect-server.conf – Standard .ini format: [Section] Option = Value – To enable changes run globus-connect-server-setup – “Rinse and repeat” 14
- 14. Common configuration options • Endpoints page – Display Name – Visibility – Encryption • DTN configuration file – RestrictPaths – Sharing – IdentityMethod (CILogon, Oauth) – SharingRestrictPaths
- 15. Exercise: Make your endpoint visible • Edit endpoint attributes – Change the name to something useful, e.g. <your_name> EC2 Endpoint – For the “Visible To” attribute select “Public - Visible to all users” • Find your neighbor’s endpoint – Thanks to our superb security …you can access it too J 16
- 16. Path Restriction • Default configuration: – All paths allowed, access control handled by the OS • Use RestrictPaths to customize – Specifies a comma separated list of full paths that clients may access – Each path may be prefixed by R (read) and/or W (write), or N (none) to explicitly deny access to a path – '~’ for authenticated user’s home directory, and * may be used for simple wildcard matching. • e.g. Full access to home directory, read access to /data: – RestrictPaths = RW~,R/data • e.g. Full access to home directory, deny hidden files: – RestrictPaths = RW~,N~/.* 17
- 17. Exercise: Restrict access • Set RestrictPaths=RW~,N~/archive • Run globus-connect-server-setup • Access your endpoint as ‘researcher’ • What’s changed? 18
- 18. • In config file, set Sharing=True • Run globus-connect-server-setup • Flag endpoint as “managed” (in web app or via CLI) * Note: Creation of shared endpoints requires a Globus subscription for the managed endpoint Enabling sharing on an endpoint 19
- 19. Sharing Path Restriction • Restrict paths where users can create shared endpoints • Use SharingRestrictPaths to customize – Same syntax as RestrictPaths • e.g. Full access to home directory, deny hidden files: – SharingRestrictPaths = RW~,N~/.* • e.g. Full access to public folder under home directory: – SharingRestrictPaths = RW~/public • e.g. Full access to /proj, read access to /scratch: – SharingRestrictPaths = RW/proj,R/scratch 20
- 20. Limit sharing to specific accounts • SharingUsersAllow = • SharingGroupsAllow = • SharingUsersDeny = • SharingGroupsDeny = 21
- 22. Ports needed for Globus • Inbound: 2811 (control channel) • Inbound: 7512 (MyProxy), 443 (OAuth) • Inbound: 50000-51000 (data channel) • If restricting outbound connections, allow connections on: – 80, 2223 (used during install/config) – 50000-51000 (GridFTP data channel) 23
- 23. EndpointactivationusingMyProxy Default configuration (avoid if at all possible)
- 25. Single Sign-On with InCommon/CILogon • Your Shibboleth server must release R&S attributes to CILogon—especially the ePPN attribute • Local account must match institutional ID (InCommon ID) – Test by creating a local user with same name • In /etc/globus-connect-server.conf set: AuthorizationMethod = CILogon CILogonIdentityProvider = <institution_listed_in_CILogon_IdP_list> 26
- 27. Subscription configuration • Subscription manager – Create/upgrade managed endpoints – Requires Globus ID linked to Globus account • Management console permissions – Independent of subscription manager – Map managed endpoint to Globus ID • Globus Plus group – Subscription Manager is admin – Can grant admin rights to other members 28
- 28. Creating managed endpoints • Required for sharing, management console, reporting, … • Convert existing endpoint to managed via CLI (or web): globus endpoint update --managed <endpt_uuid> • Must be run by subscription manager • Important: Re-run endpoint update after deleting/re- creating endpoint 29
- 29. Monitoring and managing Globus endpoint activity 30
- 30. Management console • Monitor all transfers • Pause/resume specific transfers • Add pause conditions with various options • Resume specific tasks overriding pause conditions • Cancel tasks • View sharing ACLs 31
- 31. Endpoint Roles • Administrator: define endpoint and roles • Access Manager: manage permissions • Activity Manager: perform control tasks • Activity Monitor: view activity 32
- 32. Demonstration: Management console Endpoint Roles Usage Reporting 33
- 34. Balance: performance - reliability • Network use parameters: concurrency, parallelism • Maximum, Preferred values for each • Transfer considers source and destination endpoint settings min( max(preferred src, preferred dest), max src, max dest ) • Service limits, e.g. concurrent requests 35
- 36. Disk-to-Disk Throughput: ESnet Testing 0 1,000 2,000 3,000 4,000 5,000 6,000 7,000 8,000 9,000 scp scp (w/HPN) sftp GridFTP (1 stream) GridFTP (4 streams) Disk-to-Disk Throughput (Mbps) 37Source: ESnet (2016) • Berkeley, CA to Argonne, IL (RTT: 53 ms, Capacity: 10Gbps) • scp is 24x slower than GridFTP on this path • >1 Gbps (125 MB/s) disk-to-disk requires RAID array

- 48. Encryption • Requiring encryption on an endpoint – User cannot override – Always enforced for protected data (High Assurance endpoints) • Globus uses OpenSSL cipher stack as currently configured on your DTN • FIPS 140-2 compliance: ensure use of FIPS capable OpenSSL libraries on DTN www.openssl.org/docs/fips/UserGuide-2.0.pdf 49
- 49. Distributing Globus Connect Server components • Globus Connect Server components – globus-connect-server-io, -id, -web • Default: -io, –id and –web on single server • Common options – Multiple –io servers for load balancing, failover, and performance – No -id server, e.g. third-party IdP – -id on separate server, e.g. non-DTN nodes – -web on either –id server or separate server for OAuth interface 50

- 51. Globus Network Manager For environments with super duper special network constraints… (a.k.a. ”for the very brave”) 52
- 52. Globus Network Manager • Information from GridFTP to facilitate dynamic network changes • Callbacks during GridFTP execution on local DTN • Supplements information available via Globus transfer API
- 53. • Pre-listen (binding of socket) • Post-listen • Pre-accept/Pre-connect (no Data yet) • Post-accept/Post-connect (data in flight) • Pre-close • Post-close Globus Network Manager Callbacks
- 54. Network manager use cases • Science DMZ Traffic Engineering – Use SDN to dynamically route data path – Control path uses traditional route • Automated WAN bandwidth reservation – OSCARS, AL2S • Note: All this requires custom code …mostly in C!
